Just picked up my Nexus 7 and plan to root. I have never owned a device that didn't have a removable battery. Whenever I have an issue with boot loops on my devices with removable batteries, I can just pull the battery but I am unsure of how to accomplish this with my N7. What do you guys do to power off the device if stuck in a boot loop?

I think holding down the power button for about 10-15 seconds will power down the device.
There is a combo
press power button and vol - (down ) for 5 sec ~
You'll reboot the device
For the recovery all buttons (vol+ vol - and power) when off

Actually, it is just vol- and power to enter the bootloader.

Haven't seen this anywhere and searching via my phone didn't turn up a previously existing thread about it.
regardless of the state if my phone I have always been able to force reboot without ever pulling the battery. Just hold power+ volume up+ volume down all at the same time for around 15 seconds. It will reboot while holding the buttons so just hold them till it reboots.
I apologize if this topic has already been mentioned.

I don't think the volume buttons have anything to do with it. You get the same result by just holding power.

Yeah, holding the power button down until it reboots has never ever failed me. Not once.
...the volume buttons are just voodoo at that point.
Nice, thanks for the extra bit of knowledge and the correction. So nice not needing to do a battery pull.

Guess I'm in the minority, because I enjoy the battery pull lol

Hello XDA fellas,
Earlier, I was browsing in the S3 section, and someone has ported the S4 camera apk for S3, so without hesitation, I flashed it onto my phone.
Immediately when I reboot, my phone wouldn't go past the boot animation, so I thought... Okay, I will just flash my nandroid backup then.
But what I found out now is giving me a heart attack, my phone doesn't go into recovery, instead, it reboots if I hold down Power + Vol Up + Down for more than 4 secs... so fine... I went to Odins and reflashed CWM with a Stock Rom, but it's still not getting past the boot animation.
If anyone has any solution to this... I would appreciate it if you can share with me what you know.
Thanks.
You need to hold home, power, and volume up at the same time

Recovery: home, vol up, and power, doesnt matter what order press at the same time.
Download mode : same as above except you push vol down not up.

vol up + power = recovery mode
vol down + power = download mode
actually...took me a while to figure out too. i think every phone is different.
i hold power + volume up until i see the blue 'recovery booting' comes on, then i release the power button but still holding the volume up for about another 10sec or hold until i see recovery

If you hold volume up or down as the phone vibrates to restart or boot, you get recovery and download mode respectively. You don't even need to hold power. It's actually much easier than older Android phones. No secret, you're just doing it wrong. jk.
Give it a try though. Restart your phone, and as long as you're holding down the volume up button from the indicating vibration until the blue text shows up in the top left corner, then you can let go. Same goes for down for download mode, but it will immediately go to the warning screen.

The secret =
Keep holding it down till u see the Samsung Logo, then release.

if i let go of the volume when i see the blue logo only.. then it takes me to the stock recovery..or some other recovery so i kept thinking my recovery didn't get flashed. but what i had to do was just hold the volume key longer. ..until my recovery boots up.
this only applies to my recovery mode, i think it has to do with the ota update which had a root locked kernel.

Isn't it vol up + home + power for recovery and vol down + home + power for download mode?

No need for the home button. If you trigger a restart from the os, you don't even need the power button.
If you're on the ota and are having trouble rooting, go into download mode and flash a custom recovery tar. Then when it auto resets, hold down the vol up button until the blue text in the upper left corner appears on the galaxy s4 splash screen. Boom you're in custom recovery

Sounds like your going into download mode and not recovery. just hold volume up and hit restart on the phone.
Sorry if this was posted in the wrong forum but this is kinda to do with apps.
Is there an app or something which lets you see the power menu? When you hold down the power button it shows the reboot menu(with recovery) power off airplane mode. My lock button is faulty and I cannot access this. Is there an alternative? Thanks a lot

There are many alternatives.

Hi!! I just dropped my LGOG on concrete on the upper left corner of of the phone! 1 week old! oye me!
How do i power it off?? It keeps restarting when i hold down power, and is now in system recovery with the only option to reboot recovery....... i need it powered off. Is there a button combo i can do? Or a program i can download on my computer to do so? (Down falls to a phone with no removable battery)
